      <h3><span>Club Background</span></h3>
      <p class="p1"><span>Seamasters started as a &quot;closed&quot; Toastmasters club for Seagate employees only.  In 2001
      the club voted to open up to the community.  At any particular time, we will have about 20-25 members, half of whom are Seagate employees.  
      Our membership includes several authors and professional public speakers.  We have, or have had, 
      members from many different regions and countries including China, Australia, Russia, Afghanistan, Iran, and Canada!
      <p/>Guests and visitors are always welcome to attend our meetings for a preview of what Toastmasters is all about.
      We will ask you to introduce yourself to the meeting, and briefly say why you're there.  Afterwards, we will ask for your
      general impression about the meeting.  Our diligent VP of Membership, Mike Upchurch, will probably want to know if you would like to join
      the club.  Don't feel pressured - you can return as a visitor as often as you like.

      <h3><span>Seamasters club-specific information</span></h3>
      <p class="p1"><span>
      Seamasters is a dynamic, growing, and vibrant club, and has attained recognition within the 
      Toastmaster International organization.  Our club has achieved the TMI &quot;Presidents Distinguished&quot; 
      title every year since 2003.  This is the highest club distinction within TMI, and is only
      given to clubs that achieve 9 out of 10 goals for growth and member advancement established by TMI.

      <h3><span><a name="location">Seamasters meeting time and location</a></span></h3>
      <p class="p1"><span>
      Seamasters meets every Tuesday from 12 noon to 1 pm in the Seagate Longmont facility at 389 Disc Drive.  The
      building is about 2 miles west of Longmont on Nelson Road.  Park on the south side of the building.  The main
      entrance is marked by three flag poles.  Check with the receptionist at the front desk for the meeting location
      for that day.  We generally use one of the conference rooms accessible form the main lobby.  If these rooms 
      are not available, we will meet in a room that requires Seagate employee badge access.  On these rare occasions,
      non-Seagate employees will need to present some form of identification at the main desk, be issued a temporary badge,
      and be escorted (by a Seagate employee) to and from the meeting room.  
      <em>NOTE:</em>All rooms are handicap-accessible.

      <h3><span><a name="cost"></a>Seamasters / Toastmasters dues and fees</a></span></h3>
      <p class="p1"><span>
      There are dues and fees for both the Seamasters club, and it's parent organization, 
      Toastmasters International (<acronym title="Toastmasters International">TMI</acronym>).
      TMI has a one-time-only membership fee of $20, payably when you join any Toastmasters club, including Seamasters.
      TMI dues are $4.50 per month ($27 every 6 months), payable bi-annually in April and September.  The Seamasters 
      club does not have an initial fee to join.  Our dues are $2.00 per month ($12 every 6 months), payable at the same 
      time as the TMI dues.  The initial membership fee gets you your first ten-speech &quot;Competent Communicator&quot; 
      manual, plus a one year subscription to the Toastmasters monthly magazine.  Once you achieve advanced speaker status, 
      you will need to purchase additional manuals, which are generally $3 - $5 each.
      </span></p>
      <p class="p2"><span>
      <b>NOTE:</b>If you are a Seagate employee, the Seagate <acronym title="Site Management Team">SMT</acronym> will pay all your dues, fees, and manual costs.
